Dell Dimension 3000 Video Card

Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
